About me:
22 years old, from the states, and living in Reading for the next few weeks with my parents.

I have been trying to find a supercar meet/show for either May 22/23 or 29/30, but I have not been very successful. American muscle is good, but I prefer European cars (by far actually). I do not have a car but have no problem taking the train somewhere. Does anyone know of any larger events happening either weekend?

Thanks in advance

One more weekend and you could do Supercar sunday at Goodwood race cicuit.

Go on Thames valley and surrey and there are plenty of local guys on there.

Tomorrow, if you go to visit Blenheim Palace, you will see an amazing collection of Aston Martins as it is the Aston Martin Owners' Club 75th Anniversary rally.

Great shout.

edit: I believe they usually leave from Hyde Park in London?

Great call on the Aston Martin. I completely missed that one and it looks like it should be HUGE.

So, did you make it there? I wish I could have gone in my DB7 but I was under instructions to stay in the garden today!

No. My mom flew back today and since we could not warn her we would be gone (she doesn't have a cell phone that works here), my dad wanted us to be home. (But, my "consolation prize" for staying was that we went to Lamborghini Reading & Cosco--not the same, I know).

Well, I have one more weekend, so hopefully another opportunity arises. Thanks for that one though.

If you get desperate, you could head into London and loiter around Kensington. Bound to spot a few supercars. There was a thread in General Gassing recently about the number of supercars one PHer had spotted in one evening in London.
